Weak
Kidneys
ause more trouble than any other organ of
e body. The function of the kidneys is to
separat inor ao salt and water in the pro
-essof cir ation, and to remove them and
,helrattendantOosonsfrom the body through
Ibe bladder. Therefore when the kidneys
become diseased and weak they are naturally
anable to perform their work properly, and
pains inthe back, infiammation of the b der
ad urinary disorders are the result. Itis
Imnerative that a prompt relief be afforded,
which is imposible unless you remove the
:ause.

There is a shivery, shaky legend
among the people who live along the
Hudson river which is to the effect
that that stream is the everlasting
boating waters of a specter who Is
personified as Rambout Van Dam.
Away back in colonial times Rambout
and his friends were drinking until
late at night. Finally this man Ram
hout started for home, some distance
up the river, in his boat, swearing that
he would row the distance If it took "a
month of Sundays." Rambout never
reached home, and the superstitious
people say that he has been c'ondemn
ed to row till judgment day.

BROILING.
- If the fire should be too hot, sprinkle
salt over it.
Birds and other things which need3
to be halved should be broiled insid-.a
first.
Always grease the gridiron well and
have it hot before the meat Is placed
on it
Never put your fork In the lean part
of meat on the gridiron, as It allows
the juice to escape.
Fish should be buttered and sprin
kled with flour, which will prevent the
skin from adhering to the gridiron.
Remember that a hot, clear fire is
necessary for broiling all small arti
cles. They should be turned often to
be cooked evenly without being burned.
Cover the gridiron with a tin pan or
a baking pan. The sooner the meat is
cooked without burning the better.
The pan holds the heat and often pre
vents a stray line of smoke from
touching the meat.-Philadelphia Ledg
er.

"Paying through the nose" is to be

Carried It In His Head.
When four years old. Mozart played
minuets and learned music with fa
ilty, and at the age of six he com
posed a concerto for the harpsichord,
which, though written strictly in ac
cordance with the principles and tech
nic of his art, was yet so overloaded
with difficulties that it could not be
played.
It is related that Mozart once hap
pened to put off some music that he
had been engaged to furnish for a
court concert so long that he had not
time to write out the part which he
himself was to perform.
The Emperor Joseph, who was of a
curious turn, chanced to be in the com
poser's studio when he asked: "Where
is your part? I do not see it among
these sheets of music."
"Here," responded Mozart, touching
his forehead.-St Louis Republic.
"Hanged" and "Hung."
Perhaps the Bible has had an Infiu
ence in preventing many people from
distinguishing between the uses of
"hanged" and "hung," says a London
writer. They "banged" Haman, but
the Jews in captivity also "hanged
their harps upon the willows," and in
the New Testament we read "it were
better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck." If "hanged"
was correct in either sense in the days
of the authorized version, those who
are not strong upon grammar may be
subconsciously induced to believe that
"hung" Is correct in both senses now.
But it Is curious that the exclamation
"I'll be hanged!" never appears as "I'll
be huna!"

Gulf Stream Fruit.
The superiority of certain English
fruits has its origin in a cause little
suspected. It is the blessed gulf
stres.m which does it. Foreign grow
ers are every bit as acute as the Eng
lish, It may be, but they have not the
righ': atmosphere. The gulf stream
imparts a beneficent humidity to our
atmosphere which results in our fruit
having the thinnest and finest skins of
any in the world. The English straw
berry is without equal for flavor. The
English grape, tlr igh it may not have
the fine flavor qpanish, has the
best skin. 1 1 3 tomato is as
thic skinne< a Lb English field
grown. The . n. . ple eclipses its
rivals because i' thin skin. Every
frult according ;.o its climate. Grown
in a different atmosphere, the English
app.e would shrivel in a day; here,
helled by the moisture from the gulf
stream, it ripens within the thinnest
of jackets and is as much superior to
the foreign or colonial apple as a peach
is superior to a parsnip.-St James'

THE STRAWBERRY.
It Was First Cultivated by a Blind
King of Hungary.
Where Eperies. the picturesque Hun
garian town. is now surrounded by
beautiful gardens and fruited fields
there was at the time of King Bela II.
nothing but thick wilderness. Once
this blind and unhappy sovereign was
traveling in his realm. It was a hot,
sultry summer day, and while search
ing for a shady spot in which to rest
he became lost. Deadly tired in con
sequence of his long wandering, he
asked his attendants for a drink of
water. They seated him on the soft,
green grass in the cool shade of big
old trees, and then the cavaliers sep
arated to hunt for a refreshing spring.
Meanwhile the king wanted to find
out more about his resting place and
begali to grope about him with his
hands. Thus he discovered strawber
ries growing all about him, says the
New York Herald. He ate them; so,
partly quenching his thirst, he waited
quietly for his gentlemen. After a
short time they returned, some with
empty cups. some with pearly spring
water.
The king then said to his attendants:
"Have the trees cut down around this
place where my hands found the re
freshing strawberries. Here shall rise
a town whose name shall be Eperies
(st-awberry) in remembrance of this
day for all time."
As the king commanded so it was.
The wilderness was cleared, and in its
place Is a town whose arms carry the
strawberry even today.

Dana is a huge St. Bernard who has
his own Ideas as to his importance.
Whenever he wishes to attract atten
tion he kuoeks his water pail over and
then rolis it around, growling at it and
making a great fuss. Then he puts
his head in and throws the pail high
in the air, batting at it with his paws
as it comes down. If this does not
have the desired effect he picks up
the pail by the handle and takes it into
the barn, where the noise is increased
by far owing to the wooden floor. This
performance is given whenever the
horse is petted or when strangers come
to the house.-Chicago Tribune.
